If Coinbase did as well, then the presence of a regulatory body would result in a fine for all trading platforms with greater degrees than Coinbase. did the report talk about the percentage of trading bots compared to the percentage of real trading pairs?
And why do they need that in Bitcoin ? as they are two of the most attractive markets, and I do not think that trading volumes are what drives people to use Coinbase rather security.
My take is that they wanted to show a higher degree of liquidity to attract huge players that need it. My take is that this would be in line with Coinbase's strategy of bringing in institutional level players - these may need to build and drop very large positions in a short time thus liquidity is a big thing for them.
This is not a news anymore IMO.[ ...] $6.5 million is already chump change to Coinbase so I guess they'll just shrug it off and call it a small hindrance.
Exchanges playing in the grey area is not news yeah, 6.5 is just change agree. It is just interesting because Coinbase will possibly go public soon.

Coinbase and it is interesting that this comes just after Coinbase announced they should get listed in stock market.

The good thing is that it may bring the price to a slightly more reasonable figure than it is now ah?
...
I don't know about that; they've been seemingly honest as far as not scamming their customers. ...

Yep - and that is pretty much what you can ask in the Crypto world - if they do not take your money and go MtGox style they are good enough.
